(ver. 1)
The Revivalists
[Intro]
F# A# D#m B x2)
 
[Verse]
   F#     A#
My baby told me
D#m            B                       F#
You gotta get better if you ever wanna win
        A#
And I know that
D#m                     B                  F#
She’s not getting any better man she just sin
           A#
I still love her
 D#m                 B                      F#m
Cause I know I was once there wearing them shoes
           A#
I’m still hurting
  D#m                B                    F#-
‘cause the woman I love’s giving me the blues
 
[Interlude]
A# D#m B
 
[Verse]
F#                 A#
I'm sitting here sober
D#m                B                    F#
But I wonder what shape she’ll find me in
             A#          D#m
I need her under my skin
                      B
Like a junkie needs heroin
         F#                   A#
And I’m never going back to Snake n’ Jakes
               D#m                       B
The amount of money I spent I could’ve bought the place
F#                         A
Not to mention that they know my face
D#m                        B
And now it’s hell getting out the place
 
F#                 A#
So I’m walking the streets tonight
D#m               B
I’m catching some fireflies
F#                        A#
Some would say that I’m living a lie
D#m               B
But no more today no more tonight
F#                      A#
You could say that I’m under the gun
      D#m            B
Nine million miles away from the sun
      F#             A#
I’ve hesitated much too long
        D#m               B
But I’m still having fun hope you’re having fun
 
[Solo]
F# A# D#m B x2
 
 
[Verse]
 F#             A#
Belly up in an ambulance
 D#m                  B
I spent Sunday making doctor friends
 F#                     A#
I could’ve used a pair of depends
       D#m                           B
I hope to make you laugh ‘cause you know I’m a gentlemen
 F#                      A#
Heaven found me living didn’t find me dead
          D#m             B
Got a permanent ash mark on my forehead
      F#                            A#
But it still couldn’t save me from lying in bed
                  D#m                              B
Staring at your clothes in the closet while I was out of my head
 
         F#                 A#
So I’m walking the streets tonight
     D#m           B
I’m catching some fireflies
 F#                      A#
Some would say that I’m living a lie
   D#m            B
But no more today no more tonight
F#                     A#
You could say that I’m under the gun
     D#m               B
Nine million miles away from the sun
F#             A#
I’ve hesitated much too long
D#m                     B
But I’m still having fun hope you’re having fun
 
Yeah!
